Would you take these? And, if I die, um... would you throw away my drugs... and my paraphernalia... my porno... just, you know, everything that's gonna break my mom's heart? Please? Rory, as he hands over his keys and wallet to Kimberly before he dies.

Rory Peters is a character in the film Final Destination 2. He is a heavy drug user and a survivor of the Route 23 pileup.

Biography

Rory lives somewhere in New York. Before the accident, he traveled to Paris, France, on vacation. While there, he planned to visit a movie theater, but after witnessing Carter Horton's death, he decided to go home instead, and avoided his own death after the theater collapsed on the guests. Although Rory frequently underestimates the seriousness of the situation, among all of the survivors, he is the most helpful to Kimberly Corman and Thomas Burke.

Final Destination 2

Rory is driving in his car and taking drugs, also trying to hide them from Thomas, when Kimberly has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23, where Rory is killed by a Garbage Truck. She blocks the road to prevent the other drivers from entering the highway. Moments later, the accident occurs just as Kimberly predicted, and several people are killed, including her friends Shaina, Dano, and Frankie. Rory is later brought to the police station, where he jokes about the possibility of Death still coming after the survivors, joining Eugene Dix in his insensitive jokes, showing he doesn't believe Death is still after them. After Evan Lewis’ death on the same day, Rory watched the news about it on TV while hooking up with his friends and becomes terrified, possibly thinking that Kimberly was right and Death is still after the survivors.

Later, he attends a group meeting at Thomas' apartment with Clear Rivers, who is explaining to the remaining survivors Death's List, and while safe-proofing the apartment, he sees a shadow of what appears to be a man with hooks, foreshadowing Nora Carpenter's death. After she is killed, the other survivors leave to find Isabella Hudson. Along the way, their car suffers a blowout and they crash onto a nearby farm.

Rory is the sixth survivor of Route 23 to die.

Death

Rory after being sliced by the fence wires.

Rory attempts to help out an injured Eugene until the paramedics arrive, and later saves a young man from getting run over by a speeding news van. Rory shows his serious side for the first time when he emotionally asks Kimberly to discard his drugs and porn, and anything else that would break his mother's heart if he dies. He then walks off to do more drugs. After Kat Jennings dies, she drops her cigarette, and it rolls over into a trail of gas leading to the news van. Thomas calls out to Rory, but Death intervenes by causing a tree branch to fall, forcing Thomas to the ground and out of the way since it's not his turn. Immediately after the fire reaches the van, it explodes and hurls a wired fence towards Rory. Just as he looks up, the wires slice through his body, cutting off his left arm shortly before his body falls apart into three pieces.

Signs/Clues

• A strong gust of wind blows Kat's cigarette into the pipe, indicating Death's presence.

  Final Destination 2 - Rory Peters Alternative Death Scene-1

  Alternate Death.

• Before Nora's death, Rory sees a shadow of a man carrying hooks, but the shadow was between the coat hangers' shadows, making it look like it was cut in pieces.
• When the group looks for Isabella, the landscape around the road has plenty of fences visible.
• Rory mentions that he would stop doing drugs if he was to be killed, and the reason why he was cut to pieces was because he stopped to use drugs.
• In the intro, a clothing near Kimberly's bed has a line pattern that resembles barbed wire.
• Prior to his death, Rory asks Kimberly if it will hurt when he dies. Unsure of the answer, she says, "I don't know," and he dies excruciatingly.
• Before his death, he saved Brian from being run over by a news van. This was the van that later exploded, so in a way, he caused his own death.

Trivia

Rory's Trisection is in the skeletal version of The Final Destination.

• In the script of Final Destination 2, he is described as: RORY PETERS, 24, leans down to snort a line of coke off a Def Leppard CD case.
• In his unused death, when Rory gets dismembered, his jaw drops to his neck with blood coming from the corners of his mouth.
• In a TV edit of the film, his death is completely censored by only zooming in on his face when the fence makes contact with him and cutting to the next scene.
• In an early script for Final Destination 2, Rory's personality was going to be much vulgar and would constantly complain about how unfair Death is.
  • Rory also admitted to hiding under a shopping cart after seeing Carter die in an earlier script.
  • The same script also said that Rory was on Route 23 because he won a radio contest.
